She also assists in the preparation of <br />data tables and analysis of laboratory analytical results for Limited Site <br />Investigations (LSTs). <br />PROJECT EXPERIENCE <br />DGS Printing Plant Redevelopment and Repurposing — Sacramento, <br />CA <br />Terracon provided environmental consulting services during the demolition and <br />construction phases of the former State of California Department of General <br />Services (DGS) Office of State Publishing (OSP) building and Facilities <br />Maintenance Division (FMD) yard. The site consisted of one parcel totaling <br />approximately 17.37 acres. Terracon conducted several environmental <br />investigations that included a review of architectural drawings for the site and <br />recent consultants' reports; a subsurface sampling of soil and groundwater; and, <br />geophysical surveys to map existing site utilities and locations of former <br />underground storage tanks (LISTS) and trash deposits. During demolition, <br />Terracon oversaw the hazardous materials abatement performed for the OSP <br />warehouse; the excavation and removal of the petroleum -impacted soils on the <br />central portion of the site and lead -impacted soils on the southern portion of the <br />site; and, the removal of transite piping identified during excavation activities. <br />Subsequent to the completion of site demolition and grading, Terracon worked <br />with the general contractor to prepare a closure report for submittal to the <br />California Regional Water Quality Control Board overseeing the Voluntary <br />Cleanup Agreement. Ms. Garcia composed Terracon's Excavation Closure <br />Report, analyzed the soil data for comparison to environmental screening levels <br />(ESLs), and performed a peer review of reports. She also prepared the report for <br />submittal to the State agency by verifying that all information required by the site <br />cleanup specifications document was included within the closure report. <br />Automotive Facilities <br />Performed site reconnaissance, created reports, and reviewed environmental <br />data and records for Phase I ESAs of various automotive dealerships, fueling <br />stations, automotive repair shops, and paint facilities. <br />Data Analysis <br />Reviewed soil, groundwater, soil vapor, and air analytical results for the presence <br />of various compounds including total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs), volatile <br />organic compounds (VOCs), semi -volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), metals, <br />organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and <br />compared the concentrations to regulatory standards for LSIs. <br />EDUCATION <br />Bachelor of Science, Environmental <br />Chemistry, University of California, <br />Davis, 2018 <br />CERTIFICATIONS <br />40 -Hour OSHA Hazardous Waste <br />Operations and Emergency <br />Response <br />AFFILIATIONS <br />American Chemical Society (ACS) <br />Commercial Real Estate Women <br />(CREW), Sacramento <br />Society of Environmental Toxicology <br />and Chemistry (SETAC), Northern <br />California Regional Chapter <br />WORK HISTORY <br />Terracon Consultants, Inc. <br />(Sacramento, CA), Environmental <br />Scientist, February 2019 to Present <br />Bogle Vineyards and Winery, <br />Harvest Lab Technician, 2018 <br />Waterhouse Lab, UC Davis, <br />Research Assistant, 2017-2018 <br />
